Security Fencing for Alton sites that have to stay open

Alton sites that trade through an installation need the programme designed first and the fence second. We phase runs in sections, use temporary heras where a length is open, take evening and weekend slots where daytime work would stop your operation, and keep vehicle access working throughout. The technical variable here is usually industrial estates around Farnborough and Aldershot where 2.4m weld mesh is the accepted perimeter standard.

Reading the site before pricing the run

Alton is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
We've spent enough time on GU34 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a security fence - the industrial estates around Farnborough and Aldershot where 2.4m weld mesh is the accepted perimeter standard that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

FAQs - Security Fencing in Alton

Do you provide a written specification we can tender against?: Yes. The quote states profile or section, height, post centres, foundation detail, toppings, gate hardware and programme, so a procurement team can compare it against other tenders line by line rather than on a headline figure.
What is the cost of a security fence for a site near Holybourne?: Security fencing typically runs £95-£190 per metre fitted depending on height, mesh or palisade profile and toppings, with gates quoted separately from £1,800. Ground conditions and access on the individual site move that figure, which is why we survey before committing to a rate or a programme date.
What guarantee comes with a commercial install?: A written workmanship guarantee on every commercial installation, alongside the manufacturer cover on materials and any gate automation. It is issued at handover with the site walk round, not promised verbally.
What insurance do you carry for work in Alton?: £5m public liability and £10m employers liability. Certificates go out with task specific RAMS and CSCS records before mobilisation, which is normally what a facilities manager or principal contractor asks for before booking an induction.
Can the security fence be installed while our Alton site stays open?: Yes. We phase the run so no section is left open at the end of a day, keep vehicle and pedestrian routes working, and take out of hours slots where daytime work would interrupt trading. That approach is priced into the quote rather than added later.
What local conditions change the specification around GU34?: Most often industrial estates around Farnborough and Aldershot where 2.4m weld mesh is the accepted perimeter standard. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.
